LeBron James et Bronny James
NBA (DR)

Bronny James has already made his Lakers debut this Saturday, with a match for the California Classic more precisely.

A bad match for the new number 9 of the Angelinos, and a LeBron quite annoyed by the criticism.

While the rookies are already starting to play for the California Classic, Bronny James was on the court for his first with the Lakers.

The opportunity to show a little of what he can do to the general public, except that the number 9 had a difficult first match.

Bronny James heavily criticized for his debut

In 21 minutes of play, Bronny finished with 4 points on 2/9 shooting, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. Not a great game for son James, even if it obviously means nothing for the future.

The stats in Summer League or California Classic don’t mean much, especially since the players aren’t necessarily at 100%.

It’s still a good way to gain momentum and reassure the fans… something Bronny clearly failed to do.

Currently with Team USA, LeBron was however keen to defend himself in the face of a lot of mockery.

LeBron James on Bronny’s poor performance : “It doesn’t matter if he plays well or if he doesn’t play well.

You can’t take anything statistically from the California Classic and Summer League once the season starts.

The only thing that matters is that he gets better and gets experience.”

Bronny James had a bad outing, but that doesn’t matter, as LeBron reminds us. The new 9 must above all find his bearings and continue to progress… even if the pressure on his shoulders is pretty crazy.
